Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan)

4 views

Lyrics

Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
 Headed homebound just once more
 To my Mississippi delta home
 Southland has that grand garden spot
 Although you believe or not
 I hear those breeze a-whispering
 "Come on back to me"
 Muddy water 'round my feet
 Muddy water in the street
 Just God don't shelter
 Down on the delta
 Muddy water in my shoes
 Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
 They live in ease and comfort down there
 I do declare
 Been away a year today
 To wander and roam
 I don't care, it's muddy there
 But see it's my home
 Got my toes turned Dixie way
 'Round the delta, let me lay
 My heart cries out for muddy water
